Enda Kenny: The Deputy has a very warped interpretation of the facts and I do not need him to put words in my mouth. The decision with regard to dealing with preferred creditor status by the Ministers for Finance at their meeting in Luxembourg is to the benefit of every country in Europe, not just Ireland, because people who invest in a country generally buy bonds. We did not want a situation where...
